Gertner Cove

Gertner Cove extends into the Sea of Okhotsk with deep waters and numerous rock formations along its shoreline, creating natural shelters for marine life.

The inlet has served as a strategic maritime point throughout the 20th century, supporting naval operations and traditional fishing activities in the Russian Far East.

Indigenous communities near Gertner Cove maintain maritime traditions through seasonal fishing practices and the preservation of ecological knowledge passed through generations.

Visitors require special permits to access the protected area, and maritime navigation is recommended between May and September when weather conditions are most favorable.

The cove acts as a seasonal refuge for multiple species of seals that gather on the coastal rocks during specific tidal conditions.
